There are two kinds of things being patched in the xfig and transfig
patch files in Fink. Some of the patches are just for getting things
set up, and are specific to Fink's choices of where to install things.
Others are actual patches to the code.
The patches to the code have been submitted upstream, and will appear
in the next release of xfig and transfig. In fact, if you look more
closely at the xfig site, you will find a beta for the next release,
and that beta contains that Mac OS X-specific patches which I wrote
for the Fink package and then supplied to the upstream author.
If you want to do it yourself, but don't know how to use patch, "man
patch" is your friend. What you have is a standard patchfile which
needs to be applied to the sources after untarring them.
